Does anyone know if the CS45 cloth armrest can be easily replaced with the faux leather version in standard CS?

I recently picked up my CS45 and can see this as being a high wear area so would just prefer to have the version from the standard CS. I can’t find a parts number though!

Nothing different about a CS45 vs a CS... part readily swappable.

This also annoys me, so asked local dealer for a cost....£800!!??

If you find it can be done more cost effective, please post up.

£800?!  :grin:

Will see if I can source it outside of the dealer network then I think.

I dare say a good auto upholstery trimmer could re-trim the armrest in faux leather for considerably less than that. It’d be worth doing a Google search to find a few in your area and getting some quotes.

Same colour as mine on order, does look good but guess I'm biased!

@DB99. Looks good. How does it compare to the R? I’m making the same move.

@Carl_45. I testdrove a CS but only for around 10 mins due to a mess up at the dealers. I didn’t really have a massively favourable impression of it but still ordered a 45. Lord knows why!  :grin:

I actually prefer it to the R to be honest. The R never missed a beat and was a great car to own but I think the CS is a step forward both from a technological standpoint, once you have lived with it for a few days and aren’t a technophobe, and also from a driving dynamics standpoint.

It’s feel very solid but more playful than the R on B / country roads. Enjoying the “Special” / Nurburgring mode which is balance of sport mode but a more comfortable ride for sure. Very good on corners with no understeer experienced yet. It’s been wet the last few days and no traction issues (on Goodyear Eagle F1 SS), but I haven’t been launching the car either!

Other things I like are the IQ lights and wireless connectivity for Carplay.
